Low Cost AC Regenerator

I recently came across this product line while searching for something else (Merason) and was curious if their products might be useful in the audio space for cleaning up power. 

Maruson Toroidal Transformers

How does a product like this differ from something like a PS Audio regenerator? I am technical, but not strong in the electrical space, can someone knowledgeable comment?

Heat kills electronics.  20 deg cooler is no joke.

But I'd say the CJ should be designed to handle normal voltage.  that said, you're doing the right thing.

I'd do some A/B testing to confirm your transformer is not limiting dynamics or bass and then be happy.

@carlsbad2 This is not a regenerator. It is a voltage regulator. 

Sorry for the slow response, thanks for setting me straight. I assumed that because the units can step voltage up and down that the transformer is being used for regeneration. Interesting side note, the site that I cited has been down since shortly after this discussion started.

I noticed that site down too.  I was going to send it to a friend who needs a voltage regulator and ask one of my electrical engineers to commen5 on the design of it.
